Problem with Creation PCUT CT-630

Hello,

I installed inkcut to windows yesterday, but my Creation PCUT CT-630 isn't working at all. I tried various settings in connection - but no change.

If I export it to a file, my file from Artcut looks like:
;:H A L0 ECN U V10 U80,80 D80,80 D80,100,80,140 U80,140 U896,80 D896,80 D896,100,878,224,899,209,934,217,963,232,976,240,988,252,997,266,1008,277,1015,291,1020,306,1026,322,1028,339,1035,374,1033,414,1031,455,1020,489,1013,503,1006,517,997,529,987,539,965,554,943,564,920,569,896,565,876,561,859,548,845,531,836,512,831,492,823,464,813,425,800,...

File from inkcut looks like (tried to fill beforeconnection and so on to get best result, but the plotter is not moving):
;:H A L0 ECN U V10 U4731,9557 D4589,9418 D4455,9267 D4328,9109 D4209,8945 D3991,8614 D3798,8296 D3644,7997 D3577,7846 D3526,7699 D3503,7616 D3493,7595 D3479,7586 D3358,7697 D3246,7813 D3197,7874 D3154,7937 D3119,8003 D3093,8073 D3074,8132 D3040,8182 D2996,8223 D2946,8254 D2893,8273 D2843,8281 D2799,8278 D2765,8261 D2720,8209 D2681,8155 D2617,8041 D2570,7921 D2534,7796 D2478,7546 D2448,7425 D2411,7309 D1253,7348 D1116,7361 D993,7379 D773,7418 D668,7432 D561,7439 D447,7436 D323,7421 D324,7348 D329,7287 D338,7233 D417,6994 D515,6758 D631,6524 D762,6295 D905,6070 D1058,5850 D1219,5637 D1386,5431 D1433,5379 ....

I use DMPL Mode 3...

How can I get my ct-630 to work with inkcut?

Thanks in advance

Andi

I found out that the plotter uses PL/HT-GL - is there a possibility to communicate with my device?

Thanks for your help, I will try later on. Is there a possibility to set Hardware-Handshake or do I have to set it in System only?

Do i have to paste output of ArtCut only or is there a special command to send it?

I just tried that - no reaction.
Same Settings as in Artcut - 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stopbit, RTS/CTS. In Artcut "dtr/dsf" is set - what's that?

It seems to be a connection problem, but what can I do to solve it?

Thanks!

Hello,

I give it a try - I just sent the HPGL generated File via HTERM to my plotter - it works. So only sending to plotter is the problem!

EDIT: Does not work also... :(

I tried to Emulate COM1 -> COM2 --> I get no traffic on the virtual com port! I only see IN; - and nothing more!

downgraded to 2.7 - The 'pyserial>=3.4' distribution was not found and is required by inkcut

No errors in log...

After job it says: "QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket specified" (in console)

see Attachment for log.

Starts, but on device setup I get the following error:

TypeError: The 'ports' member on the 'SerialConfig' object must be of type 'list'. Got object of type 'generator' instead.

And starting job says AttributeError: 'Serial' object has no attribute "_port_handle"

It's working with pyserial > 3.1, but there is no output also with version 3.1...

Sorry, I did not had time to check - I give it a try now :)

I get "IN;" only on COM-Interface. Nothing more :(

My plotter works fine with HPGL when I send the file via HTERM.

I had to swap x/y and mirror y for correct output - but thats no problem.

Overcut would be great if it would follow the path and not cut into last? direction - in some cases of fonts, it gets a little "step" at the meeting point of beginning and ending of path...

But I get good results after trying a bit with my plotter!

I just tried to use offset=5mm, and there is no problem. If I face it again I try to locate the problem, but it seems to work correctly!

Many thanks for the fast response, I send via HTERM - works great :)
